I've got sort of a problem and I've been trying to find a solution to it. I've had my horse since he was 10 months old. He's 19 now and I've got him at a barn where there's full board and I don't have to worry about him being well taken care of. The woman there lives right down the road from the barn and I call her his second mom. Except, the problem now is she's really his first mom. I'm not into horse stuff anymore and hardly ever get out there. I feel terribly guilty about it and I know he misses me. But, for now, that part of my life has been over with for years. I pay $250 for the board, feed, etc.
And money really isn't the issue now that my truck is paid for. I am just concerned that he's not happy but I can't bear to sell him. There's a lady from church that said she would take him after their place is ready. I have no idea when that will be. But, I think she's going to have land where he and the other horses can run. Where they are now, they hardly get out and then they're just in turnout pastures that aren't big enough to run and have fun. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.
